In this session, Carlos ran for the very first time with the latest aerodynamic upgrades of the MCL34.

He will turn his attention now to analysing the latest package and optimize the set-up ahead of Saturday’s Qualifying and Sunday’s race.

QUOTES:

"We are more or less where we expected. We managed to analyse the new aerodynamic package, which I was able to test during Free Practice 2. I felt some differences and got a feeling of it. Now we have to see how we manage to optimize it and understand it better for tomorrow. I think my race pace was good, although the track was not in optimal conditions".

"We have had a good start to the weekend so far. My feeling is quite good at the moment, but it is still too early to say. We have to analyse a lot of things together with the team this afternoon".
